Life for both whites and blacks in the 1920s and 1940s was marked by significant racial segregation and discrimination in the United States. Whites generally had more opportunities for education, employment, and housing, while blacks faced limited access to these resources and experienced systemic racism and Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation. Discrimination and disparities persisted, creating a deeply unequal society for both groups during this period.
